Changes

Over recent years it has become increasingly common for computers to be connected to local area networks and the internet via wireless Wi-Fi connections. This has spread from the home and the coffee shop into the enterprise, especially with the advent of increased wireless security and faster standards such as 802.11n.

To connect to a secured network, click on the corresponding network in the menu to display the authentication dialog. The information required by the authentication dialog will depend on the type of encryption used by the network (WPA or WEP). The following dialog illustrates the information required when WPA2 is detected:

* Ensure that all other settings are correct, including the WEP index and Authentication types.
